Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

82 users here now
This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

Yea, I picked the perfect time to get into Discord lol. I'll have to check out the other platforms myself - I don't know where I'm going currently.
Do you have a recommendation?
Sorry I've only just seen this, I use both Stoat and Root mainly but there's Fluxer chat too, I'd look around see what's best for you
Hey, if you're still interested in joining, we've set up a Matrix server as well. We're still testing things, but it seems to be working quite well, a couple people have joined already. :)
Is there a bridge between the two servers or is it just one big headache of split conversations?
We have a bridge set up between their individual General channels. Works quite well actually
Neat, good to know! Also I guess you've settled on Matrix now but fwiw there is also a Discord-Fluxer bridge now if you want other Discord alternatives for the future.
Honestly, Matrix has been working well for text but we can't figure out voice calls. Some Matrix programs allow for that right out of the box, others (like Element) don't regardless of mobile or desktop access - it's kind of a mess, really. Maybe checking out yet another platform might not be a bad idea. Although voice chat isn't the focus of the channel but being able to just chat to one another, it's definitely annoying
I know we're on the Fediverse and all but I never really saw Matrix as a real 1:1 Discord replacement. Maybe it'll get there one day though, who knows.
One can hope :)
Consider GameVox too! 😊
Matrix is weird. I see the room has been set to public if joined from a link, but it is acting like I joined a private room and can't speak even though I joined from the link here.
edit: Nvm I just had to hit back and reopen the room in Element.
I can definitely see you in the members list, but you do not seem to have joined any of the rooms in the channel. You neither show up in those in the members list nor is there any notification of you having joined either:
Try to join the individual rooms, since you need to do that manually for each of them, and see if that works for you
It seems to have simply dupliacted the room on Pawb.Social and made me the admin. 😵💫
I dunno if I should try a different client or my original Matrix account on the Matrix.org instsnce. I've had other weird shit since Pawb.Social opened a matrix instance and set up my account on it.
lmao
AFAIK, the instance you're using shouldn't matter since it's decentralised and working in a similar manner to Lemmy. You should be able to find the community and join, at least that worked for everyone else so far.
If you try to join on desktop, is there any difference? And can you search for the community manually using the address of the community? Since it's set to public, you should be able to find it
